NEW DOCUMENTARY FEATURE "FARMLAND" TO BE RELEASED MAY 1Mar. 31, 2014Source: National Corn Growers Association news release

Academy Award-winning filmmaker James Moll's new feature length documentary, Farmland, will be released nationally May 1. The film will be distributed via D&E Entertainment in more than 60 major markets.

Numerous national exhibitors will be carrying the film, including Regal Cinemas, Marcus Theatres, Carmike Cinemas, Landmark Theatres and many key independent theaters.

The film will have its New York premiere at a private screening April 17, during the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival. Additionally, Farmland has been selected to be in competition this year at Cleveland International Film Festival on March 28-29; Atlanta Film Festival on April 6; Nashville Film Festival on April 19; and Newport Beach Film Festival in April 2014.

Farmland offers viewers an intimate and firsthand glimpse into the lives of six young farmers and ranchers across the U.S. chronicling their high-risk/high-reward jobs, and their passion for a way of life that has been passed down from generation to generation, yet continues to evolve.

"In Farmland, audiences will hear thoughts and opinions about agriculture, but not from me, and not from a narrator," Moll says about his film. "They're from the mouths of the farmers and ranchers themselves."

The documentary features an original score composed by Nathan Wang with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. The film also includes an original recording of "This Land is Your Land" performed in a first-ever collaboration with platinum rock band Everclear and Grammy Award-nominated artist Liz Phair.
